D r. Alexander Skutch, probably the world's foremost
tropical ornithologist, was a long time resident of San Isidro
de El General, Costa Rica.
A Naturalist in Costa Rica, he recounts the standard method for
the difficult and dangerous journey from San Isidro to San Jose,
the journey was a distance of some 135 kilometers, and amazingly
took the better part of a week to travel. Skutch describes the
thick jungles with trails so narrow, that two on horseback could
not pass abreast one another and how finally he had to send the
horse back and proceed on foot. These images from his book conjure
within us a true sense of the magnificent, untouched, ocean of
life that is the tropical rainforest. And do you know what?
It wasn't all that long
ago.
San Isidro de El General and the surrounding mountain and beach
communities of the Southern Pacific Zone have retained much of
this natural splendor for one simple reason. Most of the years
when widespread destruction and deforestation were wreaking havoc
upon the rare and fragile ecosystems, this unique, region, through
a special combination of diverse topography, difficult access
and plain old luck, was largely spared the ravages suffered by
so many tropical havens. The years have passed. The roads are
in place. But the luck still holds for this area, which is still
rich in nature's bounty, and for those fortunate few who can live
in and around it. Just take a look at any topographical map. Costa
Rica's highest point, Mount Chirripo (2.5 miles above sea level)
Is only some 25 miles from the sea! The natural result is fast
flowing clean rivers, cascading waterfalls, diverse Ecosystems,
rich and varied flora and fauna, which the San Isidro / Southern
Pacific zone are a true wonder. Couple this with a thoroughly
modern town with all the conveniences of a big town and the charm,
safety and friendliness of a small one.
